Hello everyone,

I am new here and just wanted to introduce myself. I'm a 26 year old female from NH. I am 5'4 and my current weight is 241. I am going to be getting the gastric bypass. I have no co-morbidities so I am moving through the program rather quickly I start my 6 week lifestyle changes class that is required on Thursday. The only things I have left to do before setting a surgery date are a psych eval. And one more pre-op support group. Then I get to meet with the surgeon and set a date! I am beyond excited but a bit nervous all at once. I do have support from family and friends. I am so ready to start a better healthier life for me and my family. Thanks for reading. I love reading all the stories on here :-) feel free to chat!

Welome, @! I've only been on here a couple of months - started hanging out when I was waiting for my insurance approval - and I've found it to be incredibly helpful throughout the past couple of months. Good to have you here. Ask anything - there is basically nothing off limits. Cheers!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
